Hello fiber friends, thanks for stopping by my channel! In todays tutorial we are making macrame bows. These can be used over and over for wrapping presents, which makes them very eco friendly for a waste free Christmas, a present topper, add a string or thread to make them ornaments for your tree, they are beautiful on headbands, if made a tiny bit smaller they are adorable for barrettes, and my personal favourite, a bow tie for my handsome Pug Brutis! (Although I would NEVER allow a pet or baby/small child wear or use anything made from cord unattended. It is a choking hazard and Brutis will wear it for photos and that’s it!!)
